    And I hope everybody in Australia blames the right people for this. Yes, this is a very fucking stupid decision by a very fucking stupid president of the United States, but it’s all those red hat wearing motherfuckers in the United States that put him in power. In this particular instance, general Americans are the fucking idiots that are responsible for this shit.

      Everything you said is true, but I hope more people are seeing the US as the canary we are in the realm of right wing politics. The cancer is spreading and getting more control around the world. Everyone should look at how the US has fallen under the Trump regime and what not to do. That’s not to say that the US was doing great things outside of Trump, but this is certainly worse for the citizens of the US and the cascading effects are clearly having a negative effect on much of the rest of the world.

        Personally I think the canary was Britain with Brexit, but I grant you that unless one has lived there for a while it’s hard to really understand the politics of it all since due to their cultural favored image style, the Fascists in England are sleazy posh types kniffing others in the back rather than loud, obnoxious types punching others in the gut.

        As I see it, America’s Iran is the violent and loud country version of Britain’s Brexit.

      Like all western societies, australians have their own flavor of red hats and a rich variety of home grown fascists. They love networking internationally (and then call us globalists). Blame and shame them.

        That has nothing to do with being a western society. I’m pretty sure that China, India and Somalia have it too. Maybe named differently, and with Chinese Supremacist instead of White Supremacist groups, but pretty similar. It’s just something that exists in each human society. It’s called Chauvinism btw.

      According the the lastest polls over 110 million Americans still think Trump is great and doing the right things.
